The investigation of the didactic development of expression and art (IDDEA) project: art pedagogy in higher education.

Abstract

This article presents an experience of teaching innovation using art pedagogy framed in the IDDEA (investigation of the didactic development of expression and art) project. The participating students (n = 26) attending a pedagogy degree designed and produced an audiovisual teaching material to work on co-education and the promotion of values (respect and equality). The students were inspired by the artistic work of the painter Ángeles Romo. Seven audiovisual training pills were created by using the Cut-Out animation technique. The results show that the students (future educators) felt satisfied with the use of art as a teaching resource and stated that they would use this strategy in their professional careers. The professors involved considered the great pedagogical potential of art in the educational field, specially, the implementation of art pedagogy in the context of higher education. It is concluded that art pedagogy has contributed to achieving the curricular objectives in the pedagogy experience presented here
